This is Akandoh telling Ghanaians that his government was going to do automatic placement for health professionals right after school! Minister mu Tiemoue Bakayoko

A highly productive morning engagement with the British High Commissioner to Ghana at his residence in Accra! Our discussion highlighted a solid legacy of partnership and a shared vision for Ghana's next chapter. Through the UK-Ghana Business Council, which I co-chaired as Vice President, our strategic collaboration unlocked major investments that successfully delivered critical infrastructure. I am particularly grateful to the High Commissioner for his kind words, commending our commitment to elevating the political space by prioritizing robust, policy-driven discussions over the politics of personal attacks.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE STAFFING OF THE PRESIDENCY We expect truth and accuracy from the Presidency and its officials, not propaganda. The staffing of the Presidency is a matter of record, and it is important to put that record out there. In my capacity as Legal Counsel to the President, one of my responsibilities was ensuring that the report on the staff of the Office of the President was submitted to Parliament timeously, as required by law. And we did so notwithstanding the propaganda of my good friend, @S_OkudzetoAblak. I worked together with the Chief of Staff's office and the President in the submission process. I therefore speak to these facts directly. The 2023 Report being bandied about on social media was in respect of staffing at the Presidency for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The staffing for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 was submitted in March 2024. See attached. The record, which should be in the Presidential Archives at Jubilee House, speaks for itself: Total staff at the Presidency: --> 2022 Report: 995 --> 2023 Report: 1,048 --> 2024 Report: 921 Political appointees in 2023: 357, a REDUCTION of four from the previous year. Civil and public service staff in 2023: 564, a DECREASE of 123 from the previous year. These are civil service staff (135), presidential household staff (235), and other public service staff attached to the Presidency (194). They are NOT political appointees. The President does not appoint them, and they have always been part of the staff of the Office of the President under every government. Now, the staffing for 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 was supposed to have been submitted by THIS government in March 2025. So the critical question is this: did this government submit the report in respect of staffing for 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024? If they did, they should provide us with the numbers as at the time President Akufo-Addo was leaving office. If they did not, then it is a serious breach of the law. But what should concern every Ghanaian is the ballooning of the budget for the staff of THIS Presidency, even at the purported reduced numbers. This is UNPRECEDENTED! And I have seen a post by the Minister for Government Communications, @FelixKwakyeOfo1 in response to @DennisMiracles, claiming that the salaries paid to Presidential Staffers like Dennis Miracles Aboagye were approved on 6 January 2025. Let us be accurate: while there was indeed an approval on 6 January 2025, there has been NO payment of salaries and arrears to those who served at the Presidency in the last administration. This government has deliberately refused to pay the salaries and benefits due to the former Presidential Staffers and political appointees, yet it has been paying its OWN Presidential Staffers and political appointees on the very salary adjustments done by President Akufo-Addo's government. The stinking nature of this discrimination is that the Finance Minister, @Cassielforson, has paid himself his salary arrears and benefits as a legislator of the 8th Parliament on the new scale approved on 6 January 2025, but has refused to pay the salary arrears and benefits of the Executive. Ghanaians deserve better than selective accounting, selective payments, and selective truth. Pay what is due. And stop the propaganda because the records do not lie, and we will keep putting them before the people. The law is no respecter of persons. Accountability is not a partisan project; it is a constitutional duty.

What is going on? Accra is submerged. The regional Minister, Madam Linda Obenewa Akweley Ocloo, and others are winning awards. For what?

Duly delivered…

We have confidence in you & your leadership, your Excellency…

Thursday, 28th May 2026 | Tamale. “Bail denial must not be treated as punishment for accused persons. As a nation, we must remain committed to safeguarding the right to a fair trial for every individual.” – Hon. Haruna Iddrisu

On this sacred occasion, we are reminded of the power of sacrifice, obedience, and unwavering faith. May the spirit of Eid al-Adha inspire us to give selflessly, uphold compassion, and strengthen the bonds that unite us as one people. As we celebrate, may Allah accept our sacrifices and grant peace, prosperity, and blessings to every home. Eid Mubarak.

Barka da Sallah to fellow Muslims in Ghana and across the world.

Happy birthday to Hon. Osahen Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin (@AfenyoMarkin), Leader of our great Mighty Minority in Parliament.

TO MY BROTHER, ABRONYE I encourage you. You are not alone. The storm is real. The injustice is real. But so is Ghana's resilience and our solidarity with you. This certainly shall pass. Our forebears endured worse, but in the end, they prevailed. Take heart, and know that we shall overcome. TO ALL GHANAIANS, I SAY Do not be intimidated. Do not be silenced. Free speech is not a privilege to be granted by governments when it suits them. It is our inalienable right, and it will be restored under President  Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party. But for now, speak on because it is your right, paid for and guaranteed by the 1992 Constitution.
